In regard to pouchoscopies; St Marks Hospital which performed my J pouch surgery; believe routine pouchoscopies aren’t necessary.

Strange, I believe that's also generally true and the standard of care in the US, except in cases where there is chronic inflammation, or where dysplasia was evidenced in the colon when it was removed.  I have been told consistently for the past 30 years that persons in either of these risk groups should have annual pouchoscopies.  I happen to fall into both risk groups- my colon was found to have dysplasia when it was removed, and I have chronic inflammation in my J Pouch and in my neoterminal ileum.  Therefore, my Pouch has been scoped every single year since 1992.
